He should have vetoed the bill, but he doesn't. Most people in entertainment hate the guy, yet he still takes care of them. Surprised to see Trump supporters comment on an ABC news article, fake news!!

they are currently paying 3/4 of a penny per stream, Now, did they increase the amount they are actually paying per stream, I'm thinking maybe 4 1/2 cents per stream, would be a livable wage for performers, otherwise, it's just a waste of time!!

He signed a bill that was in the works by Congress for a few years. Big whoop. Everything he does is to engratiate himself with a particular group. If he thinks all artists will stop being against him, he's an idiot

This bill does nothing to ensure artists get paid. Why? Because it doesn't regulate the music industry's labels and middlemen that pocket the lion's share of the profits. By going after streaming sites those leeches will get more money while artists stay the same. It also creates new rights to copyright holders for free while the consumer eats a price hike. Copyright is already stacked against the public interest giving it enough power to even curtail free speech. Artists better shut up about getting even more rights after this. Not because they dont deserve to get paid but because its their own fault they let producers and labels eat their lunch while they whine the public that feeds them is never paying enough.

I understand Trump taking credit where none belongs but what the heck is Sam Moore doing praising Trump over this?? Trump had ZERO to do with this bill other than signing it into law. It took years to get this bill worked out and passed the House and Senate UNANIMOUSLY. Even if he vetoed it, it would have no problem getting the two thirds majority to overrule.
